India’s total installed power capacity increased by an impressive 87% in the last eleven years. Renewable energy capacity grew 2.81 times to 200 GW and solar energy capacity grew 38 times, surpassing the 100 GW milestone, union minister of power Manohar Lal Khattar said at the inauguration of ELECRAMA 2025, the world’s largest electrical show.

ELECRAMA 2025, hosted by Indian Electrical & Electronics Manufacturers’ Association (IEEMA), is being organised from Feb. 22 to 26 at the India Expo Mart, Greater Noida.

Addressing the gathering, Khattar said, “India is well positioned to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2027 and a developed nation by 2047, with power driving this transformation. The electrical and electronics manufacturing industry will be key in scaling clean energy, advancing grid modernization, and strengthening transmission networks.”

Khattar said, “With over 200 GW of renewable energy capacity installed and a target of 500 GW by 2030, India is making significant progress in sustainable energy adoption. Expanding EV infrastructure and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology will further accelerate the shift towards e-mobility. By 2030, India aims to achieve 800 GW of generation capacity, with 50% from renewables, reinforcing its role as a global clean energy leader.”

Marking its 16th edition, ELECRAMA 2025 is showcasing cutting-edge innovations in energy storage, electric mobility, automation, and AI-driven power systems. The event will also host high-impact B2B meetings, thought leadership sessions, and policy dialogues, fostering collaboration between global and Indian stakeholders. With over 1,000+ exhibitors and participation from leading industry players, the event is expected to register 400,000+ business visitor footfalls, making it the biggest congregation of electrical industry professionals.
